The bandwidth graph has what units? Kilobits/sec? Kilobytes/sec? Something else?

So I figured what the heck, I'll try this out for a while. I waste more than that on a day's worth of coffee. Way more I followed the Ubuntu 13.10 instructions and they seemed to work like a champ... this is what I show now: { "version" : 80500, { "version" : 80500, "protocolversion" : 70001, "walletversion" : 60000, "balance" : 0.00000000, "blocks" : 10838, "timeoffset" : -1, "connections" : 8, "proxy" : "", "difficulty" : 1.00000000, "testnet" : false, "keypoololdest" : 1385752126, "keypoolsize" : 101, "paytxfee" : 0.00000000, "errors" : "" } So not REALLY understanding what I am doing besides lending a hand, does that look alright?

This will be good and you can do it for free by using aws free tier, just did that took 10 minutes
$ bitcoind getinfo { "version" : 80500, "protocolversion" : 70001, "walletversion" : 60000, "balance" : 0.00000000, "blocks" : 31723, "timeoffset" : 0, "connections" : 8, "proxy" : "", "difficulty" : 1.00000000, "testnet" : false, "keypoololdest" : 1385783742, "keypoolsize" : 101, "paytxfee" : 0.00000000, "errors" : "" }

Just launched a droplet from DigitalOcean with bitcoind. +1 node for bitcoin. p.s : for various options to run with bitcoind follow this wiki page https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin.

How would I go about setting something up to monitor bitcoind and if it stops restart it? For some reason my bitcoind stopped last night and I had to manually start it up. I am kind of a linux noob

Yes, even with 512mb of RAM a node can still be very useful. Thanks for running some! To get a feel for who/what is using your node, you can try ./bitcoind getpeerinfo|grep subver|sort|uniq -c|sort -n 1 "subver" : "/BTCETHZ:0.8.99/", 1 "subver" : "/BitCoinJ:0.10.3/Bitcoin Wallet:3.28/", 1 "subver" : "/BitCoinJ:0.9/MultiBit:0.5.12/", 1 "subver" : "/Satoshi:0.8.99/", 2 "subver" : "/Satoshi:0.8.0/", 3 "subver" : "/Satoshi:0.8.3/", 3 "subver" : "/Satoshi:0.8.4/", 4 "subver" : "", 4 "subver" : "/BitCoinJ:0.9/MultiBit:0.5.13/", 10 "subver" : "/BitCoinJ:0.10.1/MultiBit:0.5.14/", 11 "subver" : "/Satoshi:0.8.6/", 22 "subver" : "/Satoshi:0.8.1/", 24 "subver" : "/BitCoinJ:0.10.2/MultiBit:0.5.15/", 82 "subver" : "/Satoshi:0.8.5/",
So my node is mostly connected to other BitcoinD nodes, but there's a lot of multibits there too. Old MultiBits have bugs, those users should upgrade If you do run a bitcoind, please keep it up to date! Running the latest versions keeps things healthy.

Little tip, start it with You can then exit the session and leave it running. Just created a droplet myself. tried it on CentOS first but had trouble so tried Ubuntu and it worked first time. { "version" : 80500, "protocolversion" : 70001, "walletversion" : 60000, "balance" : 0.00000000, "blocks" : 108023, "timeoffset" : -1, "connections" : 8, "proxy" : "", "difficulty" : 25997.87992881, "testnet" : false, "keypoololdest" : 1386955780, "keypoolsize" : 101, "paytxfee" : 0.00000000, "errors" : "" }

Thank you for running a node! I have a piece of crap Linux box at home that basically only runs a bitcoin node and TOR. It's not very exciting to look at, but I feel good contributing directly to these networks.

Technically yes, but what these people are doing is having servers that are a lot more open than you would do on your computer.

Don't forget to open port 8333. Most ordinary folks should NOT be running a full node. We need full nodes that are always on, have more than 8 connections (if you have only 8 then you are part of the problem, not part of the solution), and have a high-bandwidth connection to the Internet. So: if you've got an extra virtual machine with enough memory in a data center, then yes, please, run a full node. http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1scd4z/im_running_a_full_node_and_so_should_you/cdw3lrh?context=3

Little tip, start it with You can then exit the session and leave it running. is probably the better command. As a relative N00B does "bitcoind daemon" achive similar to nohup? I just setup bitcoind and am noticing that once I loose my SSH the bitcoind stops. So I just started with cranking up bitcoind daemon but am not 100% sure if it keeps chugging after I close SSH. If nohup is the way to go is the command nohup bitcoind or bitcoind nohup or drill into some directory - fyi I have bitcoind running at root since I dont use this VPS or this bitcoind for anything other than helping out seeding....
